✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Zonin family, whose winemaking legacy in the Veneto region dates back to 1821, this Extra Dry Prosecco is a vibrant celebration of northeastern Italy's sparkling heritage. Made primarily from the native Glera grape, it is produced using the traditional Martinotti-Charmat method, which coaxes out the grape's natural aromatics of white peach, almond blossom, and green apple. The 'Extra Dry' designation denotes a classic, slightly off-dry style that balances refreshing acidity with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. This style pays homage to the mid-20th-century Italian tradition when Prosecco first captured the hearts of Venice's cafe society, evolving from a local everyday luxury into a global symbol of the Italian 'Dolce Vita'.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1821 in Gambellara within the province of Vicenza, Zonin stands as one of Italy's most influential and historically significant wine dynasties. Across seven generations, the Zonin family expanded from their ancestral volcanic soils in the foothills of the Lessini Mountains to acquire top-tier estates spanning Friuli Venezia Giulia, Tuscany, Piedmont, Lombardy, Puglia, and Sicily. Viticulture emphasizes sustainability and regional authenticity across more than 1,500 hectares of family-managed vineyards. The estate’s winemaking philosophy fuses modern temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and precision Charmat method effervescence with time-honored barrel aging for structured reds. Celebrated internationally for pioneering the global prominence of Prosecco DOC—typified by its fresh, aromatic Cuvée 1821—Zonin also crafts classical expressions of Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie, native Veneto whites like Gambellara Classico, and the approachable Ventiterre line, delivering pure varietal typicity rooted in Italian terroir.
